The
island where time has seemingly stood still since Columbus set
foot on it over 500 years ago. Where the only crowds are the
turtles, exotic fish, dolphins and rays darting among the coral
reefs. Here the powdered sand is whiter...the sea bluer...and the
view more beautiful than one can imagine. Here, too, is one jewel
of a resort - perfectly suited for scuba-diving enthusiasts.
Brightly painted Bahamian cottages, trimmed in white gingerbread,
feature tastefully furnished rooms - each with a private balcony
or patio for unwinding. The spa with massage and beauty treatments
pampers you.
Three splendid restaurants offer exquisite specialty dining. While
an impressive art collection displays regional styles from 34
countries. A stay at Columbus Isle is like heaven. Without all
those tedious entry requirements, of course.
